Instructions for Retin A Wrinkle Treatment
Retin-A is a topical synthetic form of vitamin A that helps the skin renew itself and regain its youthful appearance. Retin-A is available by prescription to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, eliminate mottled skin discoloration and smooth roughness. Retin-A improves skin by increasing blood circulation, which helps shed skin cells and boost collagen formation. As with all medications, it’s vital to apply Retin-A properly to achieve the best results and avoid unpleasant side effects. Does this Spark an idea?

Tips & Warnings
Start by applying the Retin-A to your skin every Monday and Thursday night for two weeks. After that, increase the dosage to Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights for another two weeks, and then use every night. This gradual increase will help your skin adjust to the medication.
Use a sunscreen if you're going to be exposed to the sun or extreme weather.
You may experience some peeling or mild redness during the initial weeks of using Retin-A. If excessive drying, redness or broken blood vessels occur, stop using Retin-A and consult your doctor or dermatologist.
If Retin A gets inside your mouth, eyes or nose, wash those areas with warm water.
Avoid using Retin A on chapped, irritated, sunburned or broken skin.
